Netflix has unveiled a sneak peek at House of Guinness, a new historical drama created by Steven Knight, the mastermind behind Peaky Blinders. The show's official trailer was released today in anticipation of its premiere on September 25. Set in the 19th century in Dublin and New York, House of Guinness delves into the aftermath of Sir Benjamin Guinness's death, the man who turned the family brewery into a global empire. His passing triggers a chain of events that impact his four adult children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—as they navigate a complex web of inheritance, legacy, and power struggles.
The series promises to explore the profound effects of Sir Benjamin's will on his children and the people of Dublin who are connected to the Guinness legacy. The stellar cast features Anthony Boyle as Arthur Guinness, Louis Partridge as Edward Guinness, Emily Fairn as Anne Guinness (later Anne Plunket), and Fionn O'Shea as Benjamin Guinness. The ensemble also includes James Norton, Dervla Kirwan, Jack Gleeson, Niamh McCormack, Danielle Galligan, Ann Skelly, Seamus O'Hara, and more.
Steven Knight leads the production of House of Guinness, adding to his impressive portfolio that includes Peaky Blinders and an upcoming James Bond script for Amazon MGM. The series is a collaboration between Kudos and Nebulastar, with Karen Wilson, Elinor Day, Martin Haines, Tom Shankland, and Ivana Lowell serving as executive producers. Shankland and Mounia Akl take on directing duties for the show's episodes.
